Public cloud market leader Amazon Web Services today announced API Gateway, a new tool that companies can use to deploy application programming interfaces (APIs) for their existing applications.
API Gateway is available today, Amazon chief technology officer Werner Vogels said at the AWS Summit conference in New York.

Other companies provide tools for creating and managing APIs, so this is yet another market that Amazon is entering. Vendors include Mashape, Intel-owned Mashery, publicly traded Apigee, and 3scale.
